I need to install several (too many) packages from local *.zip files. is there any form to do it without clicking? I'm asking for a R code that allow me perform these task.
See ?install.packages.
You seem to be using Windows (you did not say). So the help page says
repos: character vector, the base URL(s) of the repositories to use,
i.e., the URL of the CRAN master such as
'"http://cran.r-project.org"' or its Statlib mirror,
'"http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN"'. Can be 'NULL' to install
from local '.zip' files.
and so all you need is
install.packages(c("my1.zip", "my2.zip"), repos = NULL)
